Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

There is a season for everything, a time for every occupation under heaven: 

A time for giving birth, 
a time for dying; 
a time for planting, 
a time for uprooting what has been planted. 
A time for killing, 
a time for healing; 
a time for knocking down, 
a time for building. 
A time for tears, 
a time for laughter; 
a time for mourning, 
a time for dancing. 
A time for throwing stones away, 
a time for gathering them; 
a time for embracing, 
a time to refrain from embracing. 
A time for searching, 
a time for losing; 
a time for keeping, 
a time for discarding. 
A time for tearing, 
a time for sewing; 
a time for keeping silent, 
a time for speaking. 
A time for loving, 
a time for hating; 
a time for war, 
a time for peace. 

  

Psalm 103

Bless the Lord, O my soul: all my being bless God's name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul: forget not all God's blessings.

The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, full of kindness.
God is good to all creation, full of compassion.

The goodness of God is from age to age.
blessing those who choose to love.
And justice toward God's children; on all who keep the covenant.

 

 

2 Timothy 4: 6-8

As for me, my life is already being poured away as a libation, and the time has come for me to depart. I have fought the good fight to the end; I have run the race to the finish; I have kept the faith; all there is to come for me now is the crown of uprightness which the Lord, the upright judge, will give to me on that Day; and not only to me but to all those who have longed for his appearing.

 

Matthew 25: 35-40

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you made me welcome, lacking clothes and you clothed me, sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me." Then the upright will say to him in reply, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and make you welcome, lacking clothes and clothe you? When did we find you sick or in prison and go to see you?" And the King will answer, "In truth I tell you, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me."

 

 

                Funeral  -  Stuart

                R. It says in scripture –

                One should regard us as
                    stewards of God
                    He was a steward –
                    Totally trustworthy –

                    It says in scripture to be
                        trustworthy –

                    I can't even list all he did at St. Boniface –
                    He worked on computers –
                    He helped with music in ushering
                        at programs
                    He helped with bookkeeping for a while –
                    Always helped at the festival.
                    Always at 10:00 Mass every Sunday
                    He loved everyone
                    Helped cut his neighbors lawn
 

                The Gospel said

                    "In truth I tell you, in so far as you did this to one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to me."

                Stuart was so giving –
                    always giving to rich, poor,
                    any religion, he just gave to all.

                Stuart saw –
                    there was a time for everything –
                    things in life keep repeating itself –
                    We are about to start autumn – cycles repeat –
                    God has put the timeless into
                        our hearts –

                    Something more than just doing
                        the same routine –
                    There is eternal life – where there will be
                        no more sickness, or pain –

                Stuart did serve –
                    He was young
                    He had a lot of energy

                He was taken early in life –
                    We thank God for giving
                        us Stuart for a little
                        while –

                    He served the Church, his
                        family, His community –

                    We pray for each other because
                        we will all have our
                        turn –

                    If we could all live the life

                Stuart did faithful, giving,
                    loving –

                We can pray we could all be
                    serving and loving as
                    Stuart when we are
                    taken to eternal life –

                We pray for Stuart

                We pray to be loving to one another –

                We thank God for Stuart and giving
                    us him for a little while –
                    and for Stuart who was
                    such an example to all of us –

                Sing: Make Me a Channel of Your Peace

                Sing: One Bread, One Body

                Sing: How Great Thou Art

                Sing: Here I am Lord

                R. Stu was a friend, a dad, a grandfather

                Stu touched ALL of our lives –

                Stu worked for the Red Cross as a volunteer –

                He gave himself –

                He wanted to make the difference in
                    people's lives –

                Everybody who met Stu liked him right
                    away –

                He received the respect of everybody,
                    but this was not his intention –

                He worked his way to chair of volunteers
                    in disaster areas of the Red Cross –
                    he knew how to organize –
                    he knew how to help volunteers –

                He taught classes about dealing
                    with disasters – tornados,
                    hurricanes, floods –

                He traveled to teach people about
                    this love he had –

                He always had time –

                He said there was not enough hours
                    in the day –

                He fixed people's computers –
                He was always able to help – 

                He received so many awards –

                Stu epitomized the American Red Cross
                    image –

                How did he do it all?

                He worked and worked in volunteering
                    for everybody –

                He had the biggest heart –

                Always giving money, himself,
                    his love –

                Stu wanted to make everybody
                    happy –

                Stu loved, Stu gave –

                Here is a quote in your program
                    "Death leaves a heartache
                        that no one can heal –

                    Love leaves a memory that
                        no one can steal"

                Thank you Stu for your love and touching
                    all our hearts with your life!

Colossians 1: 24 - 2: 3

It makes me happy to be suffering for you now, and in my own body to make up all the hardships that still have to be undergone by Christ for the sake of his body, the Church, of which I was made a servant with the responsibility towards you that God gave to me, that of completing God’s message, the message which was a mystery hidden for generations and centuries and has now been revealed to his holy people. It was God’s purpose to reveal to them how rich is the glory of this mystery among the gentiles; it is Christ among you, your hope of glory: this is the Christ we are proclaiming, admonishing and instructing everyone in all wisdom, to make everyone perfect in Christ. And it is for this reason that I labour, striving with his energy which works in me mightily.

I want you to know, then, what a struggle I am having on your behalf and on behalf of those in Laodicea, and on behalf of so many others who have never seen me face to face. It is all to bind them together in love and to encourage their resolution until they are rich in the assurance of their complete understanding and have knowledge of the mystery of God in which all the jewels of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.

 

Psalm 62: 6-7, 9

He alone is my rock, my safety,
    my stronghold, so that I stand unwavering.
In God is my safety and my glory,
    the rock of my strength.

In God is my refuge;

Ordinary people are a mere puff of wind,
    important people a delusion;
set both on the scales together,
    and they are lighter than a puff of wind.

 

Luke 6: 6-11

Now on another Sabbath he went into the synagogue and began to teach, and a man was present, and his right hand was withered. The scribes and the Pharisees were watching him to see if he would cure somebody on the Sabbath, hoping to find something to charge him with. But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man with the withered hand, 'Get up and stand out in the middle!' And he came forward and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, 'I put it to you: is it permitted on the Sabbath to do good, or to do evil; to save life, or to destroy it?' Then he looked round at them all and said to the man, 'Stretch out your hand.' He did so, and his hand was restored. But they were furious and began to discuss the best way of dealing with Jesus.

                The Miracles of Jesus

 

                Given September 11, 2007      

                    We can send all the Newsletters —
                have them printed — it is what God
                does in a miracle — through our prayers —
                praying for grace that changes the
                hearts. We only move boxes — Newsletters —
                Jesus does the miracles, Jesus changes
                the hearts —

                    We can put all the statues out
                there with Mary's glass — Jesus changes
                the hearts — We pray for grace — We ask
                them to pray the prayers in the prayer
                manual before the statues —

                    The grace God outpours is the
                gift — we do the work — God is the
                one who gives a miracle if He chooses —

                    His timing is perfect — I try to do
                God's will if I am happy, or sad —
                My feelings don't determine how I act
                I focus on God's will for me —
                I do God's will — even if others may not
                act the way I think they should — my
                actions are based on trying to do
                God's will for me — not what others do —
                I try to do what Jesus wants of me —
                His timing is important —
                Some times people are closed —
                Some times entire open —
                God reads the hearts —
                It is important to pray

             

                Given February 4, 2011

                R. The human race has offended God
                    God gave us an orderly harmonious
                        world

                    Adam and Eve sinned

                    There is disorder, disease,
                        disharmony

                We see the faith of Abraham —
                    We read from Hebrews at
                    daily Mass —
                    Abraham on his journey and
                        how he believed
                        God was calling him —

                God Calls — We are to response

                Abraham in search for a homeland

                We are on a journey here in
                    search for our home in heaven

                In Hebrews at daily Mass we say our father
                    (i.e. like Abraham)
                    who we are to learn from —
                    for their faith speaks to us today —

                Then we see in Mark —
                    the miracles of Jesus —
                    His power
                    His healing
                    Raising Jarius' daughter from
                        the dead

                We have faith in Jesus
                We see Jesus' love for the people —

                In Hebrews today we see we will
                    be judged on our love for
                    our neighbor —
 

Psalm 27: 1, 4, 13-14  

Yahweh is my light and my salvation, 
    whom should I fear? 
Yahweh is the fortress of my life, 
    whom should I dread?

One thing I ask of Yahweh, 
    one thing I seek: 
to dwell in Yahweh’s house 
    all the days of my life, 
to enjoy the sweetness of Yahweh, 
    to seek out his temple.

This I believe: I shall see the goodness of Yahweh, 
    in the land of the living. 
Put your hope in Yahweh, be strong, let your heart be bold, 
    put your hope in Yahweh.

 

                R. In today's Gospel of Mark
                    We see John the Baptist is
                    'shut-up' —

                    John proclaimed the way of
                        the Lord

                    After the baptism John
                        was arrested and beheaded

                    Jesus begins His public
                        ministry

                John said — I must decrease —
                                He must increase

                Tomorrow in Hebrews we see
                    a beautiful direction

 

Hebrews 13: 15-17, 20-21

Through him, let us offer God an unending sacrifice of praise, the fruit of the lips of those who acknowledge his name. Keep doing good works and sharing your resources, for these are the kinds of sacrifice that please God.

Obey your leaders and give way to them; they watch over your souls because they must give an account of them; make this a joy for them to do, and not a grief-you yourselves would be the losers.

I pray that the God of peace, who brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great Shepherd of the sheep, by the blood that sealed an eternal covenant, may prepare you to do his will in every kind of good action; effecting in us all whatever is acceptable to himself through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

   

                R. In Mark tomorrow we see
                    Jesus' love for the people —
                    who need direction —
                    they appear shepherd-less —
                    like a herd of sheep without
                        a shepherd

                Jesus teaches the Apostles about the Kingdom
                    Jesus shows them His miraculous power
                    People follow Him
                    Spiritually hungry

   

Mark 6: 30-34

The apostles rejoined Jesus and told him all they had done and taught. And he said to them, ‘Come away to some lonely place all by yourselves and rest for a while’; for there were so many coming and going that there was no time for them even to eat. So they went off in the boat to a lonely place where they could be by themselves. But people saw them going, and many recognised them; and from every town they all hurried to the place on foot and reached it before them. So as he stepped ashore he saw a large crowd; and he took pity on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he set himself to teach them at some length.

      

                R. In the remaining weeks of ordinary
                    times we hear from Genesis

                With the 5th and 6th week, at week
                    day Masses, from
                    Genesis for the first reading
                    and Hebrews on Saturday of the
                    6th week describing Cain and
                    Abel —

                    It is Abel's faith, we think, which made
                    his sacrifice more pleasing —
                    faith is "the realization of what
                    is hoped for and evidence of
                    things not seen" Hebrews 11:1

                We see in Genesis the story from the
                    beginning —
                    God's relationship with His people —
                    God is the Creator —
                    The people are to obey God —
                    We see the story of salvation history

                We see in this how we are to be faithful
                    to God —
                    God created us —

                In Genesis we see the story of Adam and Eve,
                    Cain and Abel, Abraham,
                    Isaac, Jacob and his sons —

                We see that closeness of Abraham,
                    Isaac, Jacob to God — that God
                    makes a covenant with
                    them — He is not far off —
                    He promises them —

                We see God's faithfulness —
                We see the promise of the Messiah —

                We see the 7th week of ordinary times
                    the 1st reading comes from
                    Sirach —
                    Speaking of Wisdom — rooted in God —
                    God is the Creator

                God created men and women in
                    His own image and likeness —
                    He gave us mastery over creation
                        and God blessed them
                    God continues to watch over
                        them

                Sirach continues in the 8th week
                    in ordinary times during
                    the week days —

                In the 9th week, the first reading
                    on Monday and Tuesday is from Tobit —                   

                The Gospel is from Mark

                    Jesus in the scriptures said they
                looked like a sheep without a shepherd —
                sheep come in throngs —
                they follow each other —

                Jesus gave me a message once —

  

Picture of the Sacred Heart of JesusTake Your Bottle

November 21, 1993 - 4:10a.m.

Jesus: I am the Good Shepherd. I know Mine and Mine know Me. The sheep follow the shepherd and are led where they need to go. Some go off to do their own grazing. Oh, so sad for them. Sometimes they fall and are totally destroyed! The shepherd is so sad and laments the loss of one sheep, but he tries all he can to get them and bring them back to his flock and they may graze other lands, only to find a very sorry end. Poor little lost sheep. ...

And I came in all My splendor and you caught a glimpse of My beautiful heart. In rays of light, really aglow, waiting, waiting for you, My love, to come and be united with Me. Unity in the cross, unity in all I sent you and you did not fear and you did not lose your way. You followed the Good Shepherd over the rocks and the thistles that pricked at your little toes, but you kept going. Rocks and thistles, because He knew the way and you were following Him as you ought.

The hills were steep, the valleys low. There were times you were dry in your mouth. There was much that was not to your liking, but you followed and followed and, in the end, a beautiful pasture, flowing with a bubbling brook, and a sunny day. Follow Me this way. Don't ask. Don't stop. Don't try to find a way out. Follow Me over the rocks, over all the dry lands, wet lands, lands that are just right. Trust in Me as little sheep. He does not go to graze other lands for he will surely lose his way. Follow, follow, follow the Master and you will never run amok, you will never lose your way, you will fly on eagles' wings. You will run and not get weary, and you will be guarded on your path, the right path that leads down all the right roads to an everlasting treasure.

My love is your fuel, My heart your light. You have heat on your journey. Stay close to the center of My heart and all you need will go with you. Alleluia.

I am the Good Shepherd. I know Mine and Mine know Me. They follow Me.

                    I am Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the Flock

 

 

       

                R. If we spread the consecration to Sacred Heart
                    and Immaculate Heart —
                    listen to Tell My People messages —
                    we will grow in oneness —

                The world is scattered from the Good Shepherd —
                    following the throng —

                Jesus gives us His Movement Shepherds of Christ to
                    pray for the priests, the Church and the world —
                    to spread the devotion to His Heart and
                    Mary's Heart —

                He gave us writings of Fr. Carter

                He gave us ability to send 15,000,000
                    Priestly Newsletters to priests and hierarchy —

                He gave us all these ministries to spread
                    this devotion to the Sacred Heart and
                    Immaculate Heart

                    School —
                    Church —
                    Family —
                    Tiny Tots —
                    The Rosary Ministry —
                    Mass Books
                    Apostles Manual
                    Prayer Manual Prayers
                    Holy Spirit Novena

                God shows us His covenant with
                    His people —

                God loves His people —
                Jesus came and died and rose for us —
                Jesus is our Savior —

                Sing: We are His People —

                R. Today is First Friday —

                    Practical advice is given in Hebrews
 

Hebrews 13: 1-8

Continue to love each other like brothers, and remember always to welcome strangers, for by doing this, some people have entertained angels without knowing it. Keep in mind those who are in prison, as though you were in prison with them; and those who are being badly treated, since you too are in the body. Marriage must be honoured by all, and marriages must be kept undefiled, because the sexually immoral and adulterers will come under God's judgement. Put avarice out of your lives and be content with whatever you have; God himself has said: I shall not fail you or desert you, and so we can say with confidence: With the Lord on my side, I fear nothing: what can human beings do to me?

Remember your leaders, who preached the word of God to you, and as you reflect on the outcome of their lives, take their faith as your model. Jesus Christ is the same today as he was yesterday and as he will be for ever.

    

                    R. We can always do better — conversion
                    We should never be greedy — possessive
                        of what we have —

                    Jesus Christ is the same today as he was yesterday and as he will be for ever. Hebrews 13:8

 

                R. We are given Psalm 27 today

Psalm 27: 1, 3, 5, 8-9

Yahweh is my light and my salvation, 
    whom should I fear? 
Yahweh is the fortress of my life, 
    whom should I dread?

Though an army pitch camp against me,
    my heart will not fear,
though war break out against me,
    my trust will never be shaken.

For he hides me away under his roof
    on the day of evil,
he folds me in the recesses of his tent,
    sets me high on a rock.

Of you my heart has said,
    'Seek his face!'
Your face, Yahweh, I seek;
    do not turn away from me.

Do not thrust aside your servant in anger,
    without you I am helpless.
Never leave me, never forsake me,
    God, my Saviour.

   

                R. Christ is our Light —
                Light dispels darkness —
                Light, being open — our
                    minds and hearts to God —
                If God is with me —
                    why should I be afraid —
                Trust God when we even deal
                    with evil doers

                God gives us spiritual peace —
                    Trust and Confidence —
                We can turn to God —
                We can trust Jesus —
                Jesus invites us to come to Him —
                    in our troubles —

                Through His pierced Heart the Church
                    was born —

 

Act of consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
 and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"Lord Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock, I consecrate myself to Your most Sacred Heart. From Your pierced Heart the Church was born, the Church You have called me, as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, to serve in a most special way. You reveal Your Heart as a symbol of Your love in all its aspects, including Your most special love for me, whom You have chosen as Your companion in this most important work. Help me to always love You in return. Help me to give myself entirely to You. Help me always to pour out my life in love of God and neighbor! Heart of Jesus, I place my trust in You!

"Dear Blessed Virgin Mary, I consecrate myself to your maternal and Immaculate Heart, this Heart which is symbol of your life of love. You are the Mother of my Savior. You are also my Mother. You love me with a most special love as a member of Shepherds of Christ Associates, a movement created by your Son as a powerful instrument for the renewal of the Church and the world. In a return of love, I give myself entirely to your motherly love and protection. You followed Jesus perfectly. You are His first and perfect disciple. Teach me to imitate you in the putting on of Christ. Be my motherly intercessor so that, through your Immaculate Heart, I may be guided to an ever closer union with the pierced Heart of Jesus, Chief Shepherd of the flock."

 

                Song: Open My Eyes Lord —

                R. Sin begins with distortion of the
                    truth —

                Eve listened to the serpent

                The devil is the father of lies —

                The devil then denies there will
                    be punishment for the sin —

                The devil tells the person what is
                    wrong is right, what is right
                    is wrong —

                Then the devil wants the person after
                    they have sinned — to lie further
                    and justify why what they did was
                    wrong was right —

                The devil wants to deceive the soul and
                    little by little lead them deeper
                    and deeper into deception — offending
                    God by their sin — distancing
                    themselves further and further from
                    God because of their sin — thus
                    leading themselves to greater and greater
                    misery from this distancing from God
                    and even anger —
                    for we are happy when we are closest
                    to God —

                We were created by God, for God —
                    happiness comes through union
                    with God —

                We human creatures are conceived with
                    original sin due to Adam's refusal to obey
                    God's command (except Mary who
                    was conceived without sin from
                    conception) —

                By one man's sin, Adam, death came
                    into the world —

                    Adam and Eve in the garden had
                intimacy with God — this was disrupted
                due to their disobedience —

 

Genesis 3: 20

The man named his wife 'Eve' because she was the mother of all those who live.

 

                Adam was the father of the living
                    Human creatures
                    are conceived with original sin
                    due to Adam's sin —

                Jesus is the New Adam
                Mary the New Eve

                We need to consecrate our hearts to
                    Jesus and Mary

                This is the message God gave Fr. Carter
                    and me —

                We have tainted hearts because of the
                    sin of Adam and Eve —

                Jesus is our Savior —
                Jesus gives us His pure and holy Heart —

                Mary gives as her Immaculate Heart —

                We are to give our tainted hearts to Jesus and Mary —
                    Their Pure and Holy Hearts —

                We will be one in Him —

                The Father allowed Mary to appear
                    here —
                    Our Lady of Clearwater—
                    So we spread this devotion to
                        Their pure and holy Hearts —
                    The New Adam, The New Eve
                        Jesus and Mary

   

Romans 5: 12-19

Well then; it was through one man that sin came into the world, and through sin death, and thus death has spread through the whole human race because everyone has sinned. Sin already existed in the world before there was any law, even though sin is not reckoned when there is no law. Nonetheless death reigned over all from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sin was not the breaking of a commandment, as Adam's was. He prefigured the One who was to come . . .

    There is no comparison between the free gift and the offence. If death came to many through the offence of one man, how much greater an effect the grace of God has had, coming to so many and so plentifully as a free gift through the one man Jesus Christ! Again, there is no comparison between the gift and the offence of one man. One single offence brought condemnation, but now, after many offences, have come the free gift and so acquittal! It was by one man’s offence that death came to reign over all, but how much greater the reign in life of those who receive the fullness of grace and the gift of saving justice, through the one man, Jesus Christ. One man’s offence brought condemnation on all humanity; and one man’s good act has brought justification and life to all humanity. Just as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man’s obedience are many to be made upright.

  

                R. Sin becomes more grave after
                    Adam and Eve's sin —
                    Cain is jealous of his brother
                    Cain kills his brother —

                We see in the Blue Books — the love
                    Jesus wants us to have for our
                    brothers —
                    Jesus tells us about how to love
                    with a pure heart in the Blue Books —

                    The messages are from Jesus to teach
                        us about love —

                    Jesus showed us when He walked the
                        earth — His love for His
                        brothers — He healed them —
                        He cared for them —

                    We will be judged on how we
                        loved our brothers —

                The Blue Book messages are from the Heart
                    of Jesus to tell us about loving
                    from His pure and holy Heart —

                We see in Genesis how sin offends
                    God — there was so much
                    sin at the time of Noah —
                    God flooded the earth —

                God command's Noah to enter the ark —
                Noah is obedient to God's will
                Noah does as he was told —
                Noah is saved for being obedient
                    to God —
                His family is saved —

                Our Lady appeared at Clearwater to
                    teach us about purity — about
                    obedience to God —
 

 


 

                R. We see Jesus obeyed his
                    Father to His death on the cross

                I received this message how
                    Mary said there was to be a
                    crucifix at Clearwater

 

Excerpt from July 15, 1998

A Gift, A Warning, and A Solution

Mary: My dear little ones,

I stood beneath the cross of my Son and I cried tears of sorrow and of joy. I appear on this building that you will stand with me under His cross and live your life in love.

His lesson is love to His death on the cross. He loved His enemies, those who persecuted Him. Do you see Him my children with His hands outstretched before you? I wish a crucifix to be placed at the site in the main window beside my image. My eyes are always on My Son Jesus crucified and my Heart knows His resurrection from the dead.

Stand with me under His cross. He is your King. His Sacred Heart will rule this earth, all buildings and hearts must be consecrated to Him. On July 5, 1998 Our Lord asked that this place be consecrated to His Heart and my heart, He descended on this site in the place of His statue. He will rule all kingdoms of this earth.

                R. A constant reminder of Jesus obedience,
                    Jesus, the New Adam, obedience
                    to the Father's will —

                Noah sends out the dove when
                    water covers the earth —

                The dove comes back with an olive leaf
                The dove is released again in 7 days —
                The dove does not return —

                God flooded the earth —

                The restoration of humanity's life
                    by God is seen with the flood —

                It took 7 days to create the world —
                    on the 7th day God rested —

                Man was sinful and to let that corruption
                    continue it would have been
                    past down and down —

                God destroyed all those not on the
                    Ark at the time of Noah —

                Noah sent out the dove —

                    God made a covenant with Noah —

   

Genesis 9: 8-17

    God spoke as follows to Noah and his sons, ‘I am now establishing my covenant with you and with your descendants to come, and with every living creature that was with you: birds, cattle and every wild animal with you; everything that came out of the ark, every living thing on earth. And I shall maintain my covenant with you: that never again shall all living things be destroyed by the waters of a flood, nor shall there ever again be a flood to devastate the earth.’

    ‘And this’, God said, ‘is the sign of the covenant which I now make between myself and you and every living creature with you for all ages to come: I now set my bow in the clouds and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I gather the clouds over the earth and the bow appears in the clouds, I shall recall the covenant between myself and you and every living creature, in a word all living things, and never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all living things. When the bow is in the clouds I shall see it and call to mind the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth, that is, all living things.’

    ‘That’, God told Noah, ‘is the sign of the covenant I have established between myself and all living things on earth.’

                R. When Mary's image head was destroyed
                    March 1, 2004 —
                    hurricanes ravaged Florida
                    first August 13, 2004
                    then September 5, 2004

                God the Father told me to pray 4 days
                    in this room in reparation
                    for the destruction of the
                    image head —

                Mary's image appeared in
                    rainbow color here —

                We are to live a life of being converted —
                This was Mary's message at Fatima —

                Sin separates us from God

                We are here to make reparation
                    to God — from this building —
                    because we have offended God and
                    so has the human race —
                    especially abortion!!

                We are divided because of sin —

                God wants us to be a loving and
                    united human family —

 

                Sirach was 200 - 175 B.C.

                Sirach tells us of wisdom

                Sirach tells us we will have
                    trials if we do what God wants —
                    we must accept his teaching and
                    have Patience and Trust in God

                When we are greedy it leads to disputes
                    and conflicts, envy, jealousy
                    seeking of power —
                    this is not pure —
                    We must want humility —
                    Seeking the truth —

                    The devil is the father of lies —
                    The devil wants deception —
                    The devil works slowly to lead
                        a soul further from God —

                Life is not promised to us here —
                    We could die tomorrow —
                    Be ready
                    We must live by the will of
                        God in love if we want to
                        be holy

                When we sin — we should promptly
                    go to God and tell Him we are
                    sorry so we can repair
                    that relationship because
                    we offend God with our sins —

                    We drive ourselves away
                        from Him with unrepented
                        sins and the devil works
                        in this —
                        slowly blinding us more
                        and more and leading us
                        away further and further
                        form God —

                We want friendship with God and our
                    brothers — God wants this —

                    True friends — friends in Christ —
                    Living in truth —
                    In God —

                We were created in the image and
                    likeness of God —
                    We are to try to be more
                    perfected in Him —

                God will bless us and gift us
                    if we love Him and serve
                    Him and help build His
                    Kingdom —

                His generosity is not outdone —
                He watches over us

                God's mercy is great —

                His mercy is far more than
                    us human beings —

                God hates sin —
                God wants us holy —
                We are to praise and thank God
                    for all He has done for us —

                God is a God of justice

                Song: I Am a God of Justice

 

               
 

 

                From the Rosary Meditations for Parents and Children

 

To the Reader

Mary appeared at Fatima. She told us that we are offending God. She told us what we must do. This is Mary's peace plan:

  1. Until a sufficient number of people have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace in the world.

  2. Mary has requested all to pray the daily rosary.

  3. We must observe the First Saturday devotion:
    - Communion, confession (within 8 days before or after the Saturday), recital of the rosary, and meditating for 15 minutes on the mysteries of the rosary. All this is to be done in a spirit of reparation.

  4. We must make reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

We are disobeying our Mother's requests at Fatima.

This book is to help the reader grow in their love of the rosary. It is to help them to grow in their love of the Eucharist. May they go deeper and deeper into the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. May they obey Mary's peace plan given at Fatima so there will be peace in the world.

I love you,

Rita

Fatima: The Setting

On October 13, 1917, there were more than 70,000 people gathered in the Cova da Iria in Fatima, Portugal. They had come to observe a miracle which had been foretold by the Blessed Virgin to three young visionaries: Lucia dos Santos, and her two cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto. 1 Shortly after noon, Our Lady appeared to the three visionaries:

As the Lady was about to leave, she pointed to the sun. Lucy excitedly repeated the gesture, and the people looked into the sky. The rain had ceased, the clouds parted, and the sun shone forth, but not in its usual brilliance. Instead, it appeared like a silver disc, pale as the moon, at which all could gaze without straining their eyes. Suddenly, impelled by some mysterious force, the disc began to whirl in the sky, casting off great shafts of multicolored light. Red, green, blue, yellow, violet—the enormous rays shot across the sky at all angles, lighting up the entire countryside for many miles around, but particularly the upturned faces of those 70,000 spellbound people.

After a few moments the wonder stopped, but resumed again a second and a third time—three times in all—within about 12 minutes. It seemed that the whole world was on fire, with the sun spinning at a greater speed each time.

Then a gasp of terror rose from the crowd, for the sun seemed to tear itself from the heavens and come crashing down upon the horrified multitude.... Just when it seemed that the ball of fire would fall upon and destroy them, the miracle ceased, and the sun resumed its normal place in the sky, shining forth as peacefully as ever.

When the people arose from the ground, cries of astonishment were heard on all sides. Their clothes, which had been soaking wet and muddy, now were clean and dry. Many of the sick and crippled had been cured of their afflictions. 2

The above describes the great miracle which brought to conclusion the series of apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima which took place six times, from May to October 1917. The Miracle of the Sun was the sign God gave to the world in proof of the authenticity of the apparitions. The event was reported in newspapers around the world.

With one exception, Mary always appeared on the 13th of the month, above an holm oak tree in the valley named Cova da Iria. The only deviation from the 13th was the August apparition. During this particular month, Mary appeared to the children near the village of Valinhos on August 19. The children were in jail on the 13th of that particular month. The mayor, in an attempt to stop the events, had had the young visionaries kidnapped and imprisoned, but fearing violence on the part of the people, he soon released them.

Since the apparitions of 1917, millions of pilgrims have come to Fatima. Fatima is a small, rural town about 90 miles north of Lisbon, Portugal. It is situated within hilly terrain which is lined with numerous cedar trees. The Cova da Iria—grazing ground at the time of the apparitions—now appears as a huge, paved area which lies in front of the Basilica of Our Lady of Fatima. About 50 yards in front of the Basilica, and to the left as one faces the Basilica, is the Chapel of Apparitions. Here, within the sanctuary, is a glass-enclosed statue of Our Lady of Fatima. The statue is situated on the spot of the holm oak tree over which Our Lady appeared to Lucia, Jacinta, and Francisco.

In the middle of the great square, one sees a large statue of the Sacred Heart. The arms of Christ are outstretched, welcoming all to come to the refuge of His Heart. Above the entrance of the Basilica is a statue of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. These two statues vividly remind us of the alliance of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. As we shall soon see, this union of the Sacred Heart and the Immaculate Heart forms the very core of the Fatima message.

As is to be expected, the largest crowds of pilgrims gather on the 13th of the month from May through October.

I was privileged to be present at Fatima on a very special day,

Age Of The Two Hearts

Jesus:  "My beloved priest-companion, I have allowed you to experience in extraordinary fashion the riches contained in My Heart and My Mother's Heart. I desire that you tell all My people about these riches. I desire that My people consecrate themselves to My Sacred Heart and to Mary's Immaculate Heart. My people are living in the beginnings of the age of the Two Hearts.

    "After the time of the purification is completed, this new era of the Church and the world will become firmly established. This era will be characterized by the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. All those who consecrate themselves to My Heart and to My Mother's Heart will help to establish this glorious new age. I am Lord and Master. Please listen to My urgent request. Within Our Hearts you will experience the love and security, the peace and the joy, which you all desire. I love My people with a tremendous love, and in My love I give them this message!"

Reflection by Fr. Carter:

This is the Age of the Two Hearts! The surest road to sanctity in these our times is through consecration to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. In making this consecration, and striving with God's grace to live it as best we can each day, we are contributing to the establishment of the triumph of the Immaculate Heart and to the arrival of the reign of the Sacred Heart.

        

Work To Make Your World Better

Jesus: "My beloved companion, remind My people of their responsibility toward the world. They have a duty to try to make this a better world for all to live in.

"Today there is much which is wrong with the world. Sin covers the face of the earth. Sins of all kinds blemish the goodness of My Father's creation.

"However, My Mother and I are increasingly gathering our forces for the battle against Satan and his followers. We are more and more forming Our followers to wage the battle to win back that part of the world dominated by Satan's influence. We are forming our followers in the ways of love. We are forming Our followers with the grace which flows from the bosom of My Father, through My Heart, given in the Holy Spirit, and distributed through the intercession of the maternal and Immaculate Heart of Mary.

"We are forming Our followers to give themselves in the greatest love for God and neighbor. We are bringing them ever more closely to Our Hearts so that they may draw from the flames of love of My Heart and Mary's Heart! The more My followers dwell in Mary's Heart and My Heart, the more they are enlightened and strengthened to give themselves for the salvation of the world.

"I am Lord and Master. I ask all to follow Me and My Mother to help us bring forth the great age of love and peace for the world. This age will emerge after the phase of purification has been completed. This age will be characterized by the triumph of Mary's immaculate Heart and the reign of My Sacred Heart. In this great new age, soon to come, My people will love and praise My Father, with Mary and through Me and in the Holy Spirit, as never before!

"I love My people with a tremendous, burning love, and in this love I give them this message!"

Reflection: The world belongs to Christ. St. Paul tells us about this:

As he is the Beginning, he was first to be born from the dead, so that he should be first in every way, because God wanted all perfection to be found in him, and all things to be reconciled through him and for him, everything in heaven and everything on earth, when he made peace by his death on the cross (Colossians 1:18-20).

Since the world belongs to Christ, we, who are His followers, must have a great love for the world as created and redeemed by God. We must labor through our participation in the Mass and through all our other prayers and good works to more and more help the Christic image of the world to shine forth in ever greater splendor. This is our duty and our privilege. Out of love for God and neighbor, let's resolve to get on with the task!

This rosary was received on Sunday, October the 13th, 1996 at a International Shepherds of Christ Associates Meeting at Tom Arlinghaus's farm in Kentucky. The rosary was led by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J., spiritual director of Shepherds of Christ Ministries. The meditations and messages were given to Rita Ring during the rosary. This rosary was received live and transcribed from the recording. This live recording can be obtained by writing Shepherds of Christ Publications. All of these meditations have been discerned by Fr. Edward J. Carter S.J.

Glorious Mysteries

The Resurrection

  1. Jesus has told us how He is the vine and we are the branches. We must stay rooted in Him so that His life flows through us. We cannot become disconnected from the vine. We are one, joined with Him.

  2. Hail Mary....

  3. Jesus: I am calling you, My special apostles, to this farm on this day of October l3th, l996. I will fill your hearts with the fire of My love, and the fire of this love will spread across the earth and many hearts will know My love and be touched through you. Open wide your heart during this rosary that I may speak to you and tell you of My burning love for you. I am giving to you an abundant sharing in My life. Open your heart. I am knocking at the door of your heart. You must not close your heart. Open wide that I can come in and fill you with My divine love.

  4. Oh, My beloved Jesus, I see You glistening and covered in white. I know that You rose on the third day and that there is such glory in the resurrection. My life is a constant death and resurrection as I live in You.

  5. Focus on the body of a man hanging on the cross. You see this vividly before your eyes- a man covered with blood, His head crowned with thorns. He is beaten and withered. This is the Almighty God, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came and gave Himself for love of us. Focus on this picture in your mind. Make it so clear as if you were there, as if you are seeing this with your eyes, at this moment, this man on the cross, with flesh covered with blood. Jesus died. He was locked in a tomb for three days. Now see next to this picture of this man the glorified body of Jesus, His glorified wounds, as He comes forth from the tomb. The Almighty God, our beloved and loving Jesus- He is alive, He is with us this day. He lives in us in a special way. When we are baptized and in the state of grace, God is alive within us and He shares with us His divine life. We are Christ to one another for He is alive in us. When I talk to you, I am seeing the Jesus that is alive inside of you. We are all gathered as one body. We see Jesus. We see Him dead on the cross. This is how much that He loved us. Do we not know that He died for us because of this great love, that He wants us to be one body? I see the vine and the branches and I see how they are so connected that the life and the fluid runs through the vine to the branches- it's all one. We are one in Him. He has given us a sharing in His divine life. Look at us, how separate we are with each other, how we hold ourselves at arms length and separate ourselves from one another. We are called in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to be one flock with one shepherd. The Almighty God is alive and He lives in us. I went to Mass and Communion this morning and I received the Body of Christ; you receive the Body of Christ. He gives to us His life. He gives to us Himself. We must strive in this Movement to be one, to live this consecration in our lives that we are one with each other, that we put aside all of the tauntings by the devil to divide us, that we realize that division is from Satan. As we march across this United States and this world, we will carry the fire of His love, alive inside of us, for He is alive and He lives within our hearts. We are called to this special mission as His apostles to carry this message, this message of His love to the world. Oh, Jesus, how tenderly I love you. You are alive in my very being. You are all that I live for and I want to carry this message out to the world for you have delivered this message with such love. You are so good. Fill our hearts with the fire of Your love and give us Your abundant grace that we will have the courage to carry this message to the ends of the earth. And there was darkness. I see the darkness in the night, but the light steals across the sky and the fire of His love spreads across this earth as His life lives in us and many are touched by the fire of His love. Song: Spirit Song

  6. We are not like the world, we see this world and it is Godless. In many cases the world has turned away from God. It is at Fatima that Mary said that we must stop offending God. She has given to us the peace plan that we will have peace on this earth- it is in consecrating our hearts. She said until a sufficient number have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary we will not have peace in the world. She said we must pray the rosary, that we must observe the First Saturday devotion, that we must make reparation to Their Hearts. Why, why do we not do what Mary is asking us to do? It is so simple.

  7. Mary appeared at Fatima in July, 1917 and she told the children, "You have seen hell, where the souls of poor sinners go. To save them God wishes to establish in the world devotion to my Immaculate Heart. If people do what I tell you, many souls will be saved and there will be peace. The war (World War I then raging) is going to end, but if people do not stop offending God, another and worse one will begin in the reign of Pius XI. When you shall see a night illuminated by an unknown light (January 2, 1938) know that this is a great sign that God gives you that He is going to punish the world for its many crimes by means of war, hunger and persecution of the Church and the Holy Father."1 Mary has appeared to me, almost every day from July the 5th of 1994 until September the 5th of 1995-14 months-this same cry that came from our Heavenly Mother at Fatima, that we must quit offending God, that we must do what she is telling us to do. This is the peace plan. He is alive and He lives in us. We are being asked to go into the world and to spread His love to the far corners of the earth.

  8. He gives to us His life in the Eucharist. Who are we that the Almighty God gives to us, human persons, a sharing in His divine life. He is treated with such indifference and such neglect. If we knew, if we could see, the glories of the Almighty God, but we are so blind in our sight. We do not see and we do not hear. We must pray for the grace that we will see, that we will be the apostles that He is calling to carry this message out to the world.

  9. He rose from the dead and He appeared to the apostles. We see Thomas- he did not believe. How are we this day? Do we believe? The Almighty God is truly present in His divinity and humanity in the Holy Eucharist and He is outpouring His grace, His life to us. Do we believe? Do we believe that He is truly present and that He is giving Himself to us this day? He is here! He is truly present in the Eucharist and He is alive in our hearts!

  10. He laments and laments how He is treated as a dead object. He is ignored in the Tabernacle. The Almighty God is here. We spend all this money and go to concerts, go to football games, all this time in recreation and the Almighty God is ignored. Mary appeared in 1917 and said that we must stop offending God. Look at our world. He has called us in the Shepherds of Christ Movement and is giving to us abundant grace that we will grow more and more in our relationship with Him and we will be His leaders going into this world carrying the fire of His love to the far corners of the earth. He is alive. He says, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and I am with you this day. Open your eyes and see. Open your hearts and live for I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life."

Our Lord Ascends Into Heaven

  1. He took His apostles out to the place of His Ascension and He raised His arms and He ascended into heaven. Do we see the glories of these mysteries, that the Almighty God rose from the dead, that He ascended into heaven? We do not see the glory. We are so focused on the details in our lives. We see with such limited vision. The Almighty God is alive and He is here and He is calling us. Each one of us has been called to this farm, this day, for He knew you would answer this calling. He knew that in your heart you want the deepest love affair with Him, that you want to be one with Him. He has called you as His apostles to carry out His love to the world, to light up the darkness with His life alive within us.

  2. We look out and we see the beauty of this day, with the sun in the sky and the light, and all the colors in the trees. We see the life in each blade of grass and in each leaf on the tree and tonight the darkness will cover this earth and although the trees and the leaves are still there, and this beautiful river, we will not be able to see with this clarity. The earth this day is covered with darkness for many souls have cut themselves off from the vine. They are withering and dying in their hearts. He is calling us and giving us abundant grace that we will be one in Him, that He will live in us, and as we live on this earth, He will touch others through us. This is a tremendous calling from the Almighty God that we have been chosen and called and given this grace to be so close to Him.

  3. Song: A Song From Jesus

  4. Song: Little Child

  5. Hail Mary...

  6. On Ascension Thursday, 1995, I went through such an experience. First, Jesus took me to the height of heaven and I experienced such ecstasy. I was at church and later that day when I went home I was given great anguish and suffering and He called out, "I am alive, I am alive, I am alive!" and He said that He wanted Fr. Carter in the Shepherds of Christ Movement to reach the souls on this earth with the fire of His love. It was in such pain and suffering that I was buckled over and hearing the Almighty God call out, "I am alive, I am alive, I am alive." How do we treat Jesus? Do we treat Him as if He is alive? Do we love Him with all our heart, our whole soul and our whole being? Do you hear the laments of our beloved Savior, the Almighty God, who gave Himself and died on the cross? He is alive. He wants this burning love affair with us. Many of the Masses, many of our prayers, are said with lack of emotion in our hearts. He wants us to love Him with the deepest burning love, not to go through the motions. Every prayer is a love affair with our beloved Savior. The Rosary we sing- (the Rosary song), and He wants us to say from our heart, the bottom of our heart, "Jesus, we love You. Mary, we love you. Oh, the Rosary, the Rosary, is the love of Their Two Hearts. Oh the Rosary, the Rosary, is the love of Their Two Hearts." In the September 10th rosary that we circulated to you, Jesus laments how He does not receive a drop of heartfelt love from many of His beloved religious that He has chosen and loves so much. This is why He has called us in the Shepherds of Christ Movement, to pray, to pray for His beloved religious. He loves them so much and He wants, He wants this burning love from them, His chosen ones. We are gathered here for this reason- to realize that the Almighty God really is talking to us, that He has called us, that this is an important mission, that we need to pray so fervently for our priests and our religious, that this is His instrument, the Shepherds of Christ Movement, to help in the renewal of the Church and the world.

  7. Jesus: I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I live in your heart. Open your heart and let Me come inside of you. I want to touch My beloved souls this day. Will you say "yes" to this calling? Will you go to the ends of the earth and spread this movement? Will you pray, pray fervently for this intention: to lead the religious to the fires of love, found in My Most Sacred Heart?

  8. Song: Spirit Song
    Jesus:     I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I live in your hearts.
    R:     Jesus no longer walks this earth, but He is alive and He lives in us.

  9. Song: Come Unto Me All Who Are Weary..
    Jesus:     I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I am the Almighty God, all powerful. You see with such limited vision. You must surrender and let go and let Me run your life. You are holding on, My beloved ones. You must realize that I am all powerful, all mighty, and that I am guarding you and I am with you in a special way this day.

  10. Jesus: Carry My light into the darkness.
    R:     And the light came across the dark sky and many were touched with the fire of His love. Because you answered this call, the call to be His apostle, to pray for the priests, to help spread the consecration as Our Lady has asked us at Fatima. We will not have peace in the world until our hearts are filled with love, and she says until a sufficient number have consecrated their hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will not have peace. This is the good news. As the Movement spreads across this earth, as hearts are consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, we will have the peace that Our Lady has promised at Fatima but we must do as she has told us to do. We must consecrate our hearts and spread this to the world. We must pray the rosary, observe the First Saturday devotion, and make reparation to Their Hearts.

The Descent of the Holy Spirit Upon the Apostles

  1. "When Pentecost day came round, they had all met together, when suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of a violent wind which filled the entire house in which they were sitting; and there appeared to them tongues as of fire; these separated and came to rest on the head of each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages as the Spirit gave them power to express themselves." (Acts 2: 1-4)2

  2. Jesus: I call you, I call you, I call you, My beloved apostles. I call you to go out to the ends of the earth and to preach My love. I am longing and thirsting for My beloved souls to come to Me. Bring to Me the souls, the souls I love. I am Jesus, do you hear this call? Will you bring to Me the souls of My loved ones? Will you pray for the priests and the religious, for it is through them that I will feed the hungry souls?
    R:     Look at the priest, see the priest in the Mass, the priest that consecrates the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ. He gives to us the Body and Blood of Christ. See Jesus in the priest, giving us His Body. Each one of us go to the communion rail and God gives to us Himself. We are one in Him. Jesus has told me how we sit in church, like stiffs, all separate, going through the motions. This is not love! He wants heartfelt love in our hearts, to realize that the Almighty God, in the greatest act of love gave Himself as a sacrifice on the cross and this sacrifice is sacramentally made present in every Mass. The Mass is a love affair with God. The deepest union with Him is to give ourselves to Mary, for we are sinners. She is the pure and sinless one. We give ourselves to Mary and we go to Him in her pure and sinless heart, to the very depth of His Heart. He is alive and we are the apostles that must carry this life into the world in our hearts. He is operating through us. Will we say "yes"? Do we see the world, do we see the suffering children, do we see the babies that are murdered in the wombs of their mother, do we see what the children are being fed on television...but we hold back our tongues about the love of God? When I began to receive these messages, for six weeks before, constantly I heard, "Feed the hungry, feed the hungry!" I prayed and I prayed and I prayed to know His will. In September of 1991, He called out to me, for six weeks, constantly, "Feed the hungry!" The world is starving for the love of God! Let us feed the hungry with this love of God. Let us pray for the priests for He gives us them.

  3. We encounter Christ through the sacraments. His life is outpoured in the Mass. Grace is outpoured in part according to the disposition of the person offering sacrifice. As we become one in Their Hearts, as the priest becomes one in Their Hearts, consecrated to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, an immense amount of grace is released on the earth. It is through this that many souls will know God, that many souls will be saved. We help in the act of redemption. We must spread this Movement to the far corners of the earth. It is as Mary said: we must consecrate our hearts to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. This is the key- Mary's heart is the gateway to going to the deepest chamber of the Heart of Christ.

  4. We see how Peter denied Christ. We see how the apostles were afraid. We see Thomas did not believe. We see them stumble and fall and run away, and then we see them, after the Holy Spirit descended upon them. They went out into the world and thousands were converted. They were filled with the fire of Gods love. Let us, God, be filled with the fire of Your love. Dear Holy Spirit, give us this fearlessness to go into this darkened world and to carry the light, to carry the messages of Your burning love to the souls that are starving and are longing to be fed.

  5. Song: Lady of Fatima
    Jesus:     I am alive, I am alive, I am alive, and I live in you. Open your heart that I may touch so many of My beloved souls through you. I am Jesus. Will you say "yes", My beloved apostles?

  6. Look into the eyes of the children that are suffering this day. Mary has sent us on a special mission to spread the rosaries and the consecration to the children in the schools. Do you see the children, the children in the schools today that are hard in their hearts, the children that are suffering, that do not know the love of God? Mary is giving us special help to spread these rosaries in the schools. She wants this all over the United States. For nine months Mary asked me to spread the rosary and the consecration to the children. We are the apostles that He is sending into the world this day. This is what Mary and Jesus are asking us to do. It is so little- to spread these rosaries and consecrations to the schools, but Mary said at Fatima we will not have peace in the world until we do what she has told us to do. The Shepherds of Christ Movement is a great part of the completion of the Fatima message. These rosaries are a big part of the completion of the Fatima message. We must carry these rosaries to our children in the schools.

  7. Satan presses down on us and tries to stop us. The pressure that has gone on just to have this today is unbelievable, how Satan can try to stop this. Look at the Fatima message, how it has been blocked. Why, why, why are not we paying attention to this Fatima message that Mary gave in 1917? It is the devil that has blocked this message. This is a major part of the completion of the Fatima message so we will be met with such resistance. Jesus, Jesus wants us to bring Him souls. So many souls would be saved through the First Saturday devotion. Why, why do we not talk about the Fatima message like we should, about praying the rosary and consecrating our hearts, and the First Saturday devotion, and making reparation to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary? It is so simple but the devil has blocked this. If we want peace we should do what Mary has told us for she is the Queen of Peace and the peace of the world has been entrusted to her. We are the apostles. We are being sent into the world to carry this message.

  8. Hail Mary...

  9. Hail Mary...

  10. Hail Mary...

The Assumption of Our Lady Into Heaven

  1. We see Mary taken body and soul into heaven. We live here, we struggle everyday with so many struggles. We are so focused on the daily events. We do not realize that soon we too will go to heaven, if we love and serve the Lord, if we love and serve God. The world has turned Godless to a large degree. Mary appeared to me every day, except for a few days, for fourteen months and begged and pleaded that we spread the love of her Son to this world, that we spread these rosaries to the world, that we go to the children with the rosaries and the consecrations. It is so hard to see our heavenly Mother and to know what she is saying and to not do more. Jesus and Mary have called you here this day. You have been chosen by them. This is the message that they wish to deliver to you, that many souls are suffering and going to hell. Over and over again I heard Our Lady call out, "Please, please the souls are dropping into hell like rain. You must go out to the world and spread the love of my Son."

  2. On October 13th, Mary said, "I am the Lady of the Rosary. I have come to warn the faithful to amend their lives and to ask pardon for their sins. They must not offend Our Lord anymore for He is already too grievously offended by the sins of men. People must say the rosary. Let them continue saying it every day."3 This is a great gift that God has given to us, rosaries from the Hearts of Jesus and Mary. For in the rosary this week Jesus said that the times ahead will be very dark and unless we discipline our minds by praying the rosary all through the day, it will be very hard for us when these dark days come. Mary is our heavenly Mother. She was taken into heaven but she is very much with us. She has told us what we must do. We must pray the rosary. She is our heavenly Mother. As a mother that tells a child what to eat and how to dress, Mary is telling us this: that we must try to pray l5 decades of the rosary every day for the times ahead will be dark and we need to have disciplined thoughts. In praying the rosary, our thoughts become disciplined. We are meditating on the lives of Jesus and Mary.

  3. Hail Mary....

  4. I saw a documentary on Fatima and in this documentary, Mary appeared to the three children and then they showed the events of World War II. The bodies were being thrown on a heap. And it just about tore my insides apart because I identified so much with watching Mary appear and then nobody listened or not a lot of people listened and World War II happened and so many people were killed. John brought a statue and asked me to read this, "One day during World War II, a group of soldiers wondered into a small French village which had been badly bombed. They stood in the village square and looked at the desolation around them. Nearly everything seemed battered and broken. Suddenly, one of the soldiers noticed something interesting close by on the ground. It looked like a statue. There were cracks and chips in it and several pieces were missing. It was badly damaged. A few of the soldiers stood it up right. Immediately they knew that it was a statue of Jesus. The men began to look for the missing parts. They put them together as best as they could and then they set the statue on a pedestal that was still standing, but the hands were missing. The men looked very carefully for the hands, but they were no where to be found. When the men were about to give up, one of them said he knew exactly what to do. He made a rough sign and hung it over the arms of the statue. The sign read, 'I have no hands but yours.'"

  5. Jesus gave me a message that we are His hands and we are His Heart beating in this world. We must truly be real lovers, lovers living in this world loving one another, one with each other. It is in going to the pure heart of Mary, that we will unite in this deep love affair with Jesus.

  6. Jesus: You are My hands. You are My Heart beating in this world. My beloved apostles, will you say "yes"? Will you go into the world? Will you carry my light in the darkness? Will you tell the children who are suffering how I love them? Will you go to the nursing homes and tell the elderly how I am longing to be with them, to talk to them, to hear the words from their lips that they love Me? You are My apostles of love. Response: This is the anniversary of the sixth apparition at Fatima. Mary appeared every day for fourteen months to me and delivered these rosaries. That is all she kept saying: that we must lead others to the love of her Son, Jesus. The message is so simple. It is love God and love one another. All the fanciness and the frills! Why can we not live this message which is the message of love God and love each other.

  7. We are so focused on the things of this earth and our heavenly Mother has appeared so many times and told us what we must do- she made it so clear at Fatima. Do we think our blessed Mother will change, that she will change her peace plan? We must, we must carry this message into the world. We must do what Jesus and Mary are asking us to do.

  8. Hail Mary....

  9. Hail Mary....

  10. Hail Mary....

The Coronation of Our Lady

  1. Mary: I am Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. I am asking you this day to carry these rosaries into this world. It is through the rosary that you will have peace in your hearts. My little children, you must learn to discipline your thoughts. You must come to Our Hearts and meditate on Our lives. Our lives will live in your life as you meditate on the mysteries of the rosary.

  2. Mary: There is a time, a time of struggle. There is a time of joy. There is a time when the Sacred Heart of Jesus will reign. The time for these things is near at hand. My little children, I have called you on this October 13th, 1996. I have called you to go into this world and to carry the rosary as your weapon against Satan. It is through the rosary and the scapular that I will save this world. I am Mary, your Mother. I am Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.

  3. We see the angel appear to Mary and ask her to be the Mother of God. This is the Father's plan- that Mary would be the Mother of God, and we see Mary as crowned Queen of Heaven and Earth. Do we see the plan of the Father unfold in our lives? That our lives are so important to help in the salvation of many? That He is truly calling us to be apostles to carry His love, His light, into the dark world?

  4. Jesus: I am with you in a special way, My beloved apostles. I am calling you this day. This is an urgent call. You must go into the world and carry My messages of love to the souls that are hungry and suffering and in pain.

  5. Think vividly of the moment of death. There is a soul at this moment on the edge of death. How did they live their life? Think of the world today. Is the world living according to the way that God has told us that we must live? He told us that we must love God and love one another. There is a soul at this moment on the edge of death. Where will this soul go? Did the soul love God? Did it matter about his clothes and his house and all his riches? I heard Mary, Our Mother, call out time and time and time again about the souls that were going into hell. It is like the Fatima documentary- she called and people did not heed what she said and there was World War II. Mary does not appear as she once appeared and she has ceased giving messages as she once did. She still gives messages but they are not as many. She says that we are not listening to the messages that she has given and that she cannot hold back the hand of her Son any longer.

  6. This is the good news: if we do what Mary tells us at Fatima, we will have peace. There will be the reign of the Sacred Heart and the triumph of her Immaculate Heart in which souls will fervently love Jesus with the greatest love. Her plan is so simple but Satan has blocked this plan. Satan has blocked these rosary messages and meditations. We must pray that we can circulate the messages of Jesus and Mary to the world that is hungry and in need of help.

  7. One day soon we will be with God in heaven, forever and ever.

  8. Wrapped in the embrace of the Almighty God for all eternity. Heaven is a place of love for the Almighty God is love. We will be satisfied. We will know love. We will be at peace. But, hell is a place where there is no love, there is no community, there is isolation, there is longing for God for all eternity. He is alive, He is alive and He is with us this day. You must spread this message to the ends of the earth.

  9. Mary: My little children, I call you children because you are My children, willful in your ways. I have called to you to pray My rosary and to spread the rosary to the hurting children in this world. I am asking you on this special day that you carry the rosary to as many souls as possible. I will aid you in all efforts to spread the rosaries to the world. Read these meditations to the elderly in the Nursing Homes, teach them about the power of the rosary, bring the rosary to the children, tell them about our lives, about our love for them. I am Mary, your Mother, I am Our Lady of the Holy Rosary.

  10. Song: The Rosary
    Ending Message:     Jesus: How tenderly I love you, My beloved ones. I am Jesus. I have called you this day for this special meeting. I have called you, My apostles. Will you go into the darkness? Will you spread the message of My love? Will you carry the rosary into the world? Will you touch the hearts of those that are hurting and in pain? Will you be My apostles of love? I am calling you to love God and to love one another, to be one in your hearts, to put aside all hatred and bitterness within your heart, to not give into the tauntings of Satan to divide you, to always operate in love, to focus on God. Let your hearts be filled with love. Glory be.... "My dear friends, let us love each other, since love is from God and everyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. Whoever fails to love does not know God, because God is love." (1 John 4: 7-8)     4

The fire will wipe out the hatred in the cold hearts and the earth will be covered with My celestial light.

   "Fr. Carter is a pillar of light to the dark world. This is the explanation of the photo. It is through him, I will turn darkness to light. Circulate this message with the picture. Encourage all to consecrate their hearts to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to join the Shepherds of Christ Chapters, and the Apostles of the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus Movement to pray for your Church and your world. This is My Movement for renewal of the Church and the world, based in consecration, joining your every act to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, praying the rosary, and making reparation to Our Hearts, especially on First Fridays and First Saturdays. It is through your prayers and sacrifices many souls will be helped to be saved. Grace will flow from those whose hearts are consecrated to Our Hearts and the fire of My Love will light up this darkened world."
   As you look at the picture, you see Fr. Carter's arm and hand on your left. This picture of Fr. Carter was taken July 2, 1996 at the Tuesday Shepherds of Christ Meeting at Tom Arlinghaus' Farm.
